Optoelectronic devices based on hybrid organic-inorganic structures

Conjugated polymers have become attractive for a range of device applicatio ns as light emitting diodes (display), photo-voltaic cells, transistors, an d lasers. While there is true value in making all plastic devices most of t he currently made ones involve the use of inorganic layers and or substrate s. Tn this paper we outline some of the attractive properties of such devic es and show that the hybridization on a nano-scale (as in blends) could be a powerful tool. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V.
